1956 Chevy Bel Air

I attended an Indianapolis area Flickr meetup this past Saturday to the Ray Skillman Classic Car Museum. What a cool place!

Here is a 1956 Chevy Bel Air that caught my eye while there.

3/52 for Monochrome 52

I can't specifically recall being threatened to have my face "rearranged" as a kid, but maybe this is what it would look like.

Apartments

2/52 for Monochrome 52

Leaving The Indy Children's Museum on Saturday evening, I couldn't help but notice the way the light was falling on this apartment building.

This was a quick snap from the window of my car (while stopped at a traffic light).

I wish it was sharper and the lines here are revealing plenty of pincushion distortion, I'm afraid, but I still like the shot.

What If one Star Wars post for SPC's 'Space' theme wasn't enough?

We went on President's Day (Monday) to see Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

As you might be able to tell, we all wore our Star Wars T-shirts to the showing!

It was the kids' first time seeing The Phantom Menace (they have seen Episodes 4-5-6).

The 3D was less than exciting, IMO, but OK for a film that was never intended to be viewed in 3D.

This is last Friday's theme.  Just getting around to it now.

Here's a picture of Harrison that I discovered when I was choosing photos for my annual "Grandma Calendar."

Familiar

Starting a new project over at Google+

Monochrome 52

One shot in monochrome per week for one year.

Beyond Self Portrait Challenge, I have been reluctant to take on 365 projects and the like. This seems do-able, though. It'll get me familiar with stuff over at Google+ and with a small community there. I'll be cross-posting to Flickr and this blog space.

Seems when I take on new projects (new camera, new films, etc.), I often end up back at this location and this lonely tree.

It only seemed right to begin this project with this shot, as well.

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age...


The new theme for February over at Self Portrait Challenge is 'Space.'

There are so many ways to interpret this theme, but I would be lying if I said that Star  Wars is not among the first images in my mind when I consider 'Space' (Outer Space, at least).

All around the country, at this very moment (in the Eastern time zone, at least), more dedicated SW geeks than I are watching the premier of The Phantom Menace in 3D.

We plan to take the kids and see it on President's Day, so I have a few days to wait.  So, until then, here's my contribution to the marketing machine that is Lucasfilm Ltd.

May The Force Be With You.

SPC - 'Flashback 2011' - #5

Wrapping up the final week of the 'Flashback 2011' theme at Self Portrait Challenge.

Imitating Dawn's shot for SPC this week.

 Idioms - "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" -- not sure if that's even an idiom -- more like an adage, I suppose.

Reflective; kinda (sort of a mirror image to Dawn's)
A game; of sorts

 You have my parmesan to answer, if you’d like.

 This picture is gouda – but not grate. Actually, it should probably be put out to Pasteur. You may Swissagree, but it’s my opinion that matters, nachos. Sorry, that’s just the whey it is.
